With the Oscar-winning 1981 film Chariots of Fire about to be re-released, Nigel Havers, one of the stars, investigates the true stories of athletes Harold Abrahams and Eric Liddell. His journey takes him to Cambridge, Edinburgh and Paris to meet their daughters, while director Hugh Hudson and star Ben Cross are among those recalling the making of the movie. Celebrity fans including Trevor McDonald, Kelly Holmes, Louis Walsh and David Baddiel also contribute.

I am recommending this solely because I am a HUGE fan of the 2012 Stage Version.

Cruel TV schedulers. There are TOO MANY programmes I want to watch on at 9pm this evening – this, Blackout, and an old Marple on ITV3 featuring young Benedict plus Russell Tovey that I've never managed to see before. I'm going to have to watch one, record one, and catch yet another on iPlayer tomorrow. If there is live tennis involving Andy Murray as well, I'm really scuppered! :-))
